This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American.
The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Mon, July 10, 1961

55°/79°
Up at 5.30 and shaved. Back to bed and then up at 6.10 and fried eggs for Dick, Evelyn, Linda, Reginald and myself. Fried bananas for Linda and Regi. They went to the Cape while I took Evelyn to work. Dick left early. Nice, cool, sunny day.
In Eve, Elliot & Esther came for supper. Tillie and stuffed a turkey and baked it. So, after a couple of drinks, we had a nice supper.
I showed my latest slides in Evening.
To bed at 10.30.
